You are probably best off starting with a starter kit such as our Uni-Mould Mould Making Starter Kit for the moulds and our Resin Infusion Starter Kit for the parts. You then just need to work out amount of consumables, resins, fabrics and release agents which depend on your specific project.

How much you spend from there really depends on the scale of your projects.  The starter kits are great to get started on your first few projects, be it as an individual or as a business. You can then progress onto buying materials in a larger quantity or in bulk such as our
Wholesale Vacuum Bagging Supplies.

How long is a piece of string? 



Your question is virtually impossible to answer, it's too open ended. You need to judge how much demand you have and how much stock you need to get those jobs done. Composites are tricky because you generally pay through your teeth until you start buying in bulk, so the larger quantities you can purchase the more profit you can make per unit. But obviously if you only have 3 parts to make, there's no point buying 100kg of resin and fabric.
